Seven Things That Are Keeping Me From My New Bike

1. The rear wheel splines are too big. Stupid set-up for 10-speed cassette.
2. My tires aren’t here, though I could buy cheap ones.
3. The front derailleur needs a shim.
4. I couldn’t stand to be at work on my day off any longer.
5. And I was hungry and Sarah’s chicken was turning to rubber.
6. The bike is at work while I am at home.
7. Fate. Fate keeps me from my new bike.

It’s almost a bike. It’s like half a bike. But golly is it pretty.
